False Quotes

Among the most famous of these Supreme Court cases of exercise of political power I believe are the cases of Roe V. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, two 1973 cases based on false statements which created a constitutional right to abortion Picture Quote #1

There is a kind of misguided pity that deals gently with false teachers at the expense of their victims Picture Quote #1

A precept or command is a general teaching of God, obligating every man under pain of mortal sin - namely, in cases in which he has fallen away from the command. Hence, the saints who for a period of their life lived hypocritically sinned mortally for that period. So also the damned, by persistent false living, sin persistently in Hell Picture Quote #1

False teaching - anything that would weaken the believer’s ties to his Lord - must be confronted wherever it appears, even if that confrontation requires painful correction Picture Quote #1

So who’s perfect? ... Washington had false teeth. Franklin was nearsighted. Mussolini had syphilis. Unpleasant things have been said about Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde. Tchaikovsky had his problems, too. And Lincoln was constipated Picture Quote #1

I read anything that’s going to be interesting. But you don’t know what it is until you’ve read it. Somewhere in a book on the history of false teeth there’ll be the making of a novel Picture Quote #1

The husband was a teetotaller, there was no other woman, and the conduct complained of was that he had drifted into the habit of winding up every meal by taking out his false teeth and hurling them at his wife Picture Quote #1

I became a writer not because my father was one - my father made false teeth for a living. I became a writer because the Irish nuns who educated me taught me something about bravery with their willingness to give so much to me Picture Quote #1

It’s not okay to just make up false things about someone, especially in their personal life. Professionally, fine! Scrutinize me all you want. I know that I can’t please everyone, but personally, let’s just leave it alone. It’s going too far Picture Quote #1

I cannot stress often enough that what science is all about is not proving things to be true but proving them to be false Picture Quote #1

I can’t think of a major story that we have broken that was incorrect. But we have had to correct some things that were false; we have had to retract things Picture Quote #1

Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth; whilst on the surface of the world all things are weighed by the false scale of custom Picture Quote #1

One false word, one extra word, and somebody’s thinking about how they have to buy paper towels at the store. Brevity is very important. If you’re going to be longwinded, it should be for a purpose. Not just because you like your words Picture Quote #1

There’s a crazy, false notion that audiences are not patient or will not watch a story, that you have to put in a scare every ten minutes. But I always thought that was insane Picture Quote #1
